7. Installation
DIY installation may involve the use of power tools or cut glass. Safety equipment (gloves, eye
protection, etc.) should be used and if in doubt consult a professional to carry out the installation.
Suitable door types
Instructions are provided for installation in all door types, including wooden, plastic, glass, and
metal. Before installing in a door with unknown construction please check for a metal
plate in case a larger hole is required, as described in the metal door installation section.
If you can only be sure of the construction of the door by drilling a hole in it, make a trial
hole anywhere covered by the proposed hole for the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door.
Pet door positioning
The ideal height of the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door is such that the base of the tunnel is the
same height above the ground as your pet’s stomach. In practice however, mounting is normally
dictated by features in the door into which the unit will be installed. In these circumstances, it is
usual to mount the pet door as low as possible.
7.1 Electrical interference
The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door contains a sensitive radio receiver to pick up the
signal from your pet’s microchip or collar tag. In rare instances, excessive levels of
electrical interference can cause the range of the system to degrade. Avoid the following
situations:
• The SureFlap Microchip Pet Door should not be used in the vicinity of other microchip
readers or similar low frequency devices. These are particularly detrimental to performance
and may prevent normal operation.
• Avoid obvious sources of electrical noise such as faulty, ickering lights.
• Avoid trailing mains cables and DC mains adaptors very close to the SureFlap Microchip
Pet Door.
If you suspect electrical interference may be affecting the performance of your SureFlap Microchip
Pet Door please contact customer service for assistance.
